Nelly-Szoboszlai

It depends if they base the fee on his ability and form or on his name and standing it’d add to their domestic league.

His form is the real concern, for me. And, that alone, is the reason that I’d consider a silly offer for him in the summer. As for the touchline stuff, it’s not the greatest of looks, but nobody knows what was said, by who and if anything had happened earlier in the day to cause a bit of friction between Salah and Klopp. A player should always respect their manager. But, Salah is a human. One who is used to being an elite athlete at the top of his game. He’s had a frustrating season with injuries and a relatively big drop off in form. That’ll frustrate him. And maybe make him a bit snappy. The “fire” comment is quite vague and could mean anything. Klopp has said it was dealt with in the dressing room and there’s nothing more to add. If Salah’s conduct in the coming hours suggests that too, then we should draw a line under it and move on.

Just been released by Ebbsfleet United after making just one substitute appearance for them. It’s mad reading some of the earlier posts in this thread then looking at how his career actually panned out. He had a few moments for us that suggested he’d be a decent player. But, where did it all go wrong?

The more I read about him the more I’m starting to think that Slot could be a good appointment. It’s probably already been posted but this article portrays him in a good light. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/apr/26/arne-slot-liverpool-feyenoord-philosophy I’m intrigued to see how we adapt to the likely 4-2-3-1 formation too. Klopp’s 4-3-3 served us well. But, my one complaint about us under Klopp is that we could, at times, try to get to goal a bit too quickly. Trying to do so in 1 or 2 passes (a lot of these moves involving TAA) when maybe 3, 4 or 5 more precise and shorter passes might’ve been better. It’ll be interesting to see if we use the number 10 as a key role in building up our attacks. Trying to feed the attacking 3 higher up, rather than going for a more direct pass from deep.

This has got to be a piss take, surely?

Ben Gvir involved in a car accident. Sad news… That it was only minor injuries.

Another one to add to the list for the baby killing savages. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/26/palestinian-baby-rescued-mother-womb-dies-gaza-hospital

It’s duly noted that the “ban it” crowd who appear every year when Aintree is on haven’t uttered a single word about banning London. Or building sites. Hypocrites.

I’m not sure I see Szoboszlai as a number 10. Not like a Maddison, Odergaard, De Bruyne, old school Coutinho type. He doesn’t seem to have the top level creativity to play that role.

Potentially interesting comment from Carragher in the post-match analysis. Although, that depends on whether he’s been tipped off by insiders at the club or was just spouting shite. He said that with Edwards coming back he thinks that Liverpool fans might be surprised by the amount of changes at the club over the summer and clarified that he meant amongst the playing staff. He suggested that Klopp has had a greater influence over recent transfers and that Edwards may think that they’re not as good as expected and could be moved on. Who could he be referring to? Gakpo? Gravenberch? Szoboszlai? Nunez? Endo? Mac Allister? Mac Allister aside, you could make a case for selling the rest. But, they’ve done alright in their first season. Could they be important parts of a team in some form of positive transition or is it more a case of them not being good enough? If the new management structure doesn’t fancy them, is it best to get rid now and risk setting us back a year or two by signing new players and bedding them in? Or should the new management structure persist with them and see if there’s any improvement over the next season or two?

I’m looking forward to next season already now. I’m quite intrigued to see if Slot will go with his usual tactics which appear to involve a “number 10” advanced midfielder. Can we expect to see a new player coming in in that position? Or will we see a current player utilised in that role - Gakpo, Elliott, a returning Carvalho?

Yep. Klopp would probably refuse to get involved in a parade.

115 charges, for me. I want another fan base to suffer the pain of having a few titles pinched off them by those cheating cunts. It’ll hopefully knock something out of Arsenal for next season too.

One small silver lining is that those woeful decisions for the Diaz goal at Spurs and the Martin Lynx Africa (Odour-guard) handball won’t cost us the title now, as we’ve managed to do a great fucking job of that ourselves.

Cock. Piss. Nunez. Fucking awful performance. From the team. And the aforementioned player. He’s done now. Get whatever you can for him. He’s never going to be good enough. On the game itself, you should never be able to say that you lost a derby because the other side wanted it more. Even more so when it’s a game you need to win to keep your slim title hopes alive. But, that’s what happened with the exception of Diaz and maybe one or two others (being generous). You have to give Everton credit, they out battled us and took advantage of our giving up cheap goals, which has been there all season, and our recent inability to put our chances away. The tone was set from the non-penalty. That summed up the whole performance. Sloppy, not street smart, panicky. A really weak, insecure and immature performance. It might be the Klopp announcement. Or something else. But, it feels like something has gone wrong with this team over the past few weeks. The conceding first thing has been a constant all season. But, performance wise, we were cruising along and then it’s just liked someone slammed the breaks on and every ounce of confidence, momentum, ability, fight, desire, the lot, was drained out of the team. Just look at Endo. He’d been great for us. Then, tonight and his past few games, dodgy. Standing on the ball. Giving it away. A free kick conceding machine. I think Klopp should’ve stuck with most of the midfield from Fulham. The others had looked leggy. Jones doesn’t look fit. I think the season will peter out from here. Which is a shame for Klopp to go out in such a manner. He’s been excellent for us and deserves more. Big job for the new manager. The freshened up squad already looks like it needs freshening up a bit agai

And Frank Rijkaard. I think Slot might not be the right choice. But, you could’ve made a list of German managers who were shite when managing abroad just before we appointed Klopp and that would’ve been as useful and insightful as the list you’ve replied to.

Olé, olé! Olé, olé! Arne Slot, Slot, Slot! Lookin' for some Slot stuff, baby, this evenin' I need some Slot stuff, baby, tonight I want some Slot stuff, baby, this evenin' Gotta have some Slot stuff, gotta have some love tonight (Slot stuff) I need Slot stuff I want some Slot stuff I need Slot stuff

A few of the footie journos are tweeting that Slot is the number one choice and that we’ll be stepping up our efforts to secure his appointment.

What chances of rattling 13 in against the bitters tomorrow?

Anything is possible until it’s mathematically impossible. But, I've made peace with it all. It’s not worth the personal and emotional investment anymore. We’ve been robbed of a few titles before this season. We can add another one to the list following one of, if not the most, ridiculous refereeing decisions ever seen in the Spurs away game. Which was just one of many against us. Life goes on.

The real London “hate marches” on display, there.

Gary O’Neill is a decent coach. I’d also be interested to see what he can do with better players too. But, do I want Liverpool to be the testing ground for seeing if he’s up for a top job. I’d probably say no. And, while he’s a decent coach, is he an adequate replacement for Klopp? A manager who’s going to challenge for titles? Again, I’d probably say no.
